Do you know if a remote backup service was written? I am going through SimpleBackup code, (and if not exists) I would like to contribute remote agent for backup. Any pointers for that implementation would be appreciated.
Yes, I wrote one [1] and others did too, e.g. [2] and [3].

The gist of it, as mentioned in [4], is that you need to have a web server that implements checkStatus and saveConfig PUTs, and PUT and DELETE for saveBoard.

Thanks for writing this. I found it useful and trivial to setup.
did you market it at all? or people just found it organically
I showed it around to people that would listen, but otherwise, no, I didn't market it per se.
